Maurice held the hand of a blindfolded Kelly. They were walking toward a nearby barn. Just then, Maurice noticed a small flicker of light coming from one of the barn's windows. Fear crept into his mind.

Kelly stubbed her toe on a fallen limb. She winced. " Where are we going?".

Maurice looked around. He noticed a huge clearing behind the barn. " My other van is not far away".

" Please don't kill me".

" If that was the case". He held her hand tighter. " I would of done it already".

As they walked into the clearing, he noticed Kelly mumbling to herself. " What are you doing?".

" Praying". She grinned. " For you".

Just then, Maurice's heart began to melt ever so slightly.
